One of the most valuable resources for preparing for these interviews is case books. However, using case books effectively is an art in itself. In this article, I explore the correct way to leverage case books for preparation in consulting case interviews. What Are Case Books? Case books are comprehensive collections of real or simulated business cases from real interviews conducted by consulting firms.

Here are some criteria to consider when selecting case books: - Source credibility: Look for case books from reputable sources, such as top business schools or consulting clubs affiliated with your target firms. - Recency: Consulting case interview formats can evolve over time, so opt for recent case books to ensure relevance. - Diversity: Select case books that cover a range of industries, functions, and difficulty levels to broaden your skillset. - Realistic cases: Ensure that the cases closely resemble the types of problems posed in real consulting interviews.
